The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.
The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Still wondering if inequality is out of control?
"Too much of Christianity is based on anxiety and fear. Thus, it can become an exercise in shaming people, a cruelty, rather than liberating and showing people the infinite love God has for them."

My Roman Empire is thinking about how obsessed dudes are with the Roman Empire without realizing that the reason it fell was over centralized power in the hands of incompetent emperors.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.
It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.
Colombian President Petro commenting on the US;
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."
babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
25 page indictment but no mention of fentanyl or stolen oil. Search it for yourself.
Why do we even have a Constitution, or any Federal laws at this point? This is a free for all. No rules. Just do whatever we want to whoever. Sovereign nations, underage girls, American citizens. Yee Haw. Murica
Ma'am. I promise you that the 43,000 students at UGA, the 81,000 at Texas A&M, 55k at Texas, 42k at Alabama, etc. are there for an education. They didn't enroll because of football.
As intelligent as you present, surely you know that these schools are good academic institutions
this is all happening because 80,000 people in the 6 states where votes actually count googled "joe bidon still presdinant?" on election day morning
A lot of irony in the fact that a president who tried to illegally remain in office after being voted out has invaded another country to arrest a president who tried to illegally remain in office after being voted out, only successfully.
AND IT'S ALL ABOUT OIL.
You need proof Thomas Sanford was MAGA as fuck? It's been nine hours since he was identified and you haven't heard SHIT about his social media from the press. If he had been following Meidas Touch instead of Charlie Kirk they would be playing his posts in a loop.
*Crickets* from Kash Patel on Thomas Sanford. Patel was never the FBI director. He is still nothing more than a right wing internet shit poster.

Nancy Mace tells pregnant women to take Ibuprofen.
Live your life in such a way that when you die people aren't ashamed to quote the shit you said.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
Btw, this was JD Vance just a few months ago back in February of this year🙃
This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.
Is his hair real?
Maybe putting a podcaster and a Mar-a-Lago groupie in charge of the FBI wasn’t the best plan.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s possible to condemn Charlie Kirk’s murder and think he was a colossal piece of shit at the same time.
Mehtab Syed, a Muslim Pakistani American woman, was the 'legendary' special agent in charge of Utah's FBI division.
Experienced, highly qualified, and respected by her peers.
Kash Patel fired her last month.
Now look at the mess.

I think what yesterday’s news taught me is that while I knew there were 2 realities in this country, I truly thought Kirk was a fringe figure even on the right. Seeing that he’s apparently mainstream to them now is really my big takeaway and is just stunning to me that that’s who they all are.
Been awhile since I did this, if ever. Surely I have (?)
